I have managed to progress to some degree into the swamp and got through that chapter after having numerous problems with being kicked out of the game every time I attempted to go to the inventory. I learned that if the inventory becomes full and you attempt to access it the game will boot you out.Keep in mind do not pick up every item until you need it.

Does anyone know how to get rid of an inventory item. In my case even after having used the item it continues to remain in inventory. For example I still have the rotten cheeze even after having thrown it to the rat in the bootleg celler.
